Committee of Experts on local and regional finance and public services (LR-FS)

New subcommittee

Composed of governmental experts from Council of Europe member states, the Committee was set up in 2009 to clearly focus on matters of local and regional authority finance and public services. Following earlier CDLR work on these topics by the former LR-GR and LR-FL committees, including major recommendations on financial resources, and budget management at local level as well as on and local public services, the most recent activities carried out notably comprise reports on public-private partnerships (PPP), the degree of conformity of member states’ policy and practice with Council of Europe standards for local finances and European practices for the funding of new competences of local authorities.

Activities of the Committee in 2009 will also include the identification of topics and issues, firstly with regard to their inclusion in a possible additional protocol to the European Charter of Local Self-Government (ECLSG), secondly with regard to discussing them at the next ministerial session of Utrecht 2009 and including them into the new CDLR and sub-committee work programme from 2010 onwards.
